I don't remember the scene but going by the style of rooftop and the bits of the actors I can see I'm going to guess Delicatessen even though I seem to remember the sky being consistently dark or overcast.

Definitely worth checking out. It completely has Jeunet's stamp on it. Stylistically it's very similar to Amelie but with a much darker, post-apocalyptic sensibility. Whereas Amelie is quite sweet and precious all the way through, Delicatessen has a delightfully dark humor about it.

Yeah it's pretty much better than Amelie. Better than City of Lost Children too, imho.

I knew it was another French flick, and this one actually crossed my mind but I couldn't remember the scene. It's Une Femme est une Femme.

FYI, your new AV didn't influence this post in any way...

By the way, continuing the umbrella theme, if you haven't seen it there's a movie up on Youtube I think you'd love called Umbrellas of Cherbourg starring Catherine Deneuve (fuckit, link can be found here). EVERY single word of dialogue is sung out loud, and it features some seriously yummy French hommes et femmes. Great technicolour photography as well.

When no one responded I was actually gonna give as a clue "Seppuku would probably get this" but considering you're our resident Godard fan I thought it would be too much of a give-away

And I actually rented Umbrellas of Cherbourg as a wee highschooler but was too perplexed at the sing-talking to finish it! I've been meaning to rent it again to see if (hopefully) my taste has evolved in the last 6 years.

...also I have no idea what the pic is you posted but I will ponder the flashing of panties all afternoon...
